'''Zevatrons''', named in analogy to [[Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory]]'s [[Bevatron]] and Fermilab's [[Tevatron]], are highly exotic hypothetical astrophysical sources capable of accelerating particles to 1 ZeV (10<small><sup>21</sup></small> [[electronvolt|eV]]). |
|||
Recently, there was a consideration of possibility of [[galactic jet]]s acting as Zevatrons, due to diffusive acceleration of particles caused by shock waves inside the jets. In particular, models suggested that shock waves from the nearby [[Elliptical Galaxy M87|M87]] [[galactic jet]] could accelerate an iron nucleus to ZeV ranges{{ref|1}}. |

Redirect to:
- From a merge: This is a redirect from a page that was merged into another page. This redirect was kept in order to preserve the edit history of this page after its content was merged into Ultra-high-energy cosmic ray. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated) or delete this page.
- For redirects with substantive page histories that did not result from page merges use {{R with history}} instead.
- From a printworthy page title: This is a redirect from a title that would be helpful in a printed or CD/DVD version of Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Printability and Version 1.0 Editorial Team for more information.
